I Cant Believe What Just Happened!!!!

I just had this blog almost finished and was typing along and every bit of it disappeared...Everything,,,How funny....About 20 mins. worth of typing..Ok lest see if I can do this again..Now your gonna miss all that wonderful writing I just did..You know how it is..You cant do it twice in a row as good...Ok..It was a good day...Sandra off to school..Stopped at the grocery store..Meet up with the president of the Mexico board from IFM to pick up some blankets for a blanket drive..THey will be handed out to the poor here in Juarez before the cold weather sets in..Then I came by the house and dropped off the grocerys.John(IFM) and I had planned on him crossing the border at Caseta and me heading out from here and meeting half way out in the Dead Zone( no law area) for him to get the blankets...It is about 20 miles from where we live..I headed out the same time as John. The blankets were in a big black plastic bag..Which looked like a large bag of something not good around here..I had to cross thru one military check point. I was laughing to myself that if I got stopped and checked they would think right off the bat that they had something when they saw this bag..I could just see them taking out blanket after blanket and shaking them really good...Well once I crossed this check point without getting stopped I tried to call John to see where he was..But didnt get an answer..I tried again in a few minutes and no answer again..I thought then that he must have gotten stopped coming into Mexico..after a few minutes he called me and said that they were stopping every car that came into Mexico today and x-raying...Which held him up..By the time he got across I was almost to Caseta so he just stoppped off the road and waited on me..I pulled up,quickly got out,grabbed this large black, threw it into his van..Hopped by into my van and took off..If anyone was watching they would have for sure thought it was a drug drop...How funny..John decided after I called him and was laughing about how much it looked like a deal that he was going to dump the blankets out and get rid of the big black bag look...Anyway I havent heard anything but I am sure he is ok...I had to head right to the school to get Sandra..I was a few minutes late because of the longer drive out to Caseta..Once I got her we came home and have been here all afternoon..She let me know on the way home that she is ready to go to Florida..I am too...I think she has had enough of what we have been doing...We are ready to get back to life..She is excited for the new life...Alot different than a few months ago...They think my Mom will be ready to go home on Saturday..I tried to get somethings lined up but her insurance company told me that she will have to talk to them herself..So my brother is suppose to get with her this afternoon and then call me tomorrow and let me know what we need to do..I made a phone call contact for Carlos who gave me the e-mail for the Pastor who set up all of Carlos' surgery last time..I sent out an e-mail to him and havent heard anything back yet...Please pray..I am hopeing that I will be able to do something for him before time to leave...If not I think I will still be able to help from Florida..THis has been a day...Oh yea..and Qwen with YWAM dropped off some more work I can do..But it was not a good day to do detail work...I started and messed up right off the back so that can wait till tomorrow...Then I am going to the passport office on Wed.......We shall try and focus and get through one more day...and I know that with GOD's peace we can....
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on HIM, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise HIM...

  1. Good morning my family,I hope your sleeping well.I'm up and ready to go,I'm starting to get a little excited about you actually coming home.I know it's not a sure thing this week,but it's closer now then ever.Once again I am preparing for God's blessing,but this time I have also prepared myself not to be upset if God wants us to wait a little longer.I know that God speaks in a soft voice,but most of the time I need a good kick in the butt. We will follow him werever he leads,with joy.I am praying for Gods grace for Carlos and prayerfully help will come soon. God is still and allways good all the time.In his love Hap.
